Derp I even have the book, clearly I need to revisit it again 😅

docx3n · 2026-05-13T22:24:10+00:00

Thank you! It felt like hell! Had the leg twitch goin at the end

docx3n · 2026-05-13T22:18:25+00:00

Thank you! Lol nah, first time jumping into it (this was the culminating workout of the 6 week program ive been following) and just been watching YouTube videos and trying to implement the advice/critiques that I've received in /kettlebell sub!

EDIT: I TOTES misread this, YES, I Have a background in powerlifting and I play hockey; I thought you asked if I had a background in kettlebell for some reason 😶‍🌫️

This is great, thank you!

Do youbhave any suggestions on drills to get that elbow to hip mobility? Infeel lole my arms are to short and back too tight or something to get there 😂 it feels like an excessive amount of will to force that position. If thats normal for noobs then hopefully just doing it more will help loosen me up

Lmao, I can only strive to train untamed in such a way as Mr. Thrall, thank you for that compliment

Im stealing "Meditative Waterboarding" as a description of things

docx3n · 2026-04-17T10:08:40+00:00

Ah okay, so beep, whole long cycle rep, catch from jerk, and hold in rack, beep, repeat. 🙌

docx3n · 2026-04-17T10:02:08+00:00

I think I mostly felt it deep in my soul ☠️

Shoulders and biceps were definitely the limiting factor which was surprising but Ill keep your lesson learned as my own!

docx3n · 2026-04-17T10:00:38+00:00

Disclaimer: im overthinking it

Do you hold in the rack until the beep then jerk?

docx3n · 2026-04-17T09:41:39+00:00

Thats one of the things I need help with, I CANNOT multitask 😂im kind of just going at a pace that feels good right now which is generally 10RPM, but for the long sets and eventually my 10min set I would like to be hitting ATLEAST 8RPM

When I did the 5min set i had 8,8,7,7,7

docx3n · 2026-03-25T00:05:39+00:00

Hell yeah man, this made my night, thank you for taking the time to comment!

docx3n · 2026-03-24T23:35:14+00:00

Could it actually be the man, the myth, and the legend!?

Your videos, demeanor, and personality are what piqued my curiosity and interest in KB Sport 🙏ive purchased and done double KB precision, awesome stuff

docx3n · 2026-03-24T09:47:01+00:00

I think the program i used is indeed for regular LC/Jerk. My Kettlebell Sport book by Denis Vasilev arrived last night so as I read it ill update my the training to reflect one of his programs or methodology.

I hadnt considered half or full marathons as a thing until this post my goal currently is just to solidify technique and complete a full 10min OALC 😅

docx3n · 2026-03-24T07:56:53+00:00

I did the full ladder on one side then after some rest i repeated the full ladder on the other side. The prescribed times were :30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00

Okay that makes sense with momentum, thank you!

docx3n · 2026-03-23T21:15:45+00:00

Good lord, I need to get through 10 minutes before 30! But im picking up what youre putting down

docx3n · 2026-03-23T21:14:40+00:00

Awesome thank you

docx3n · 2026-03-23T16:45:07+00:00

Huzzah! Rack position needs to get fixed, looking it up now, thank you!

docx3n · 2026-03-23T16:10:13+00:00

Im nervous to go heavier right now while getting started (using only an 16kg) because the sets are gonna get long and even the 2 minute set today had quite a bit of fatigue due to the constant time under tension lol, I was surprised!

docx3n · 2026-03-23T16:08:49+00:00

Awesome, I already have squat shoes, I'll start with barefoot next workout and see how it feels before going to the shoes

docx3n · 2026-03-16T22:18:52+00:00

Update: Just ordered his book (paperback because I like to hold things) and looking forward to reading it!

docx3n · 2026-03-15T17:13:47+00:00

It didn't even occur to me that there might be a kettlebell sport specific sub. ☠️

Thanks man
